DEFEATED INDIANS AGAIN FACE HANDICAP IN NEW SERIES Hoosiers Drop First Game to Brewers in Ten Innings, Despite Tex’s Homers. ‘WHITEY’ TO TRY ARM MILWAUKEE, Aug. 25—Jack Hendricks’ Indians today faced another uphill fight ns a result of dropping the series opener with the Brewers yesterday, 3 to 4, In ten innings. The fact that the Milwaukee club grabbed the edge on the series no doubt will cheer the locsls, but the Hoosiers are accustomed to facing handicaps and seem to play better ball when battling from behind. Charlie Whltehouse was slated for mound duty this afternoon and he said he fe’t capable of pott !, *r over a wiener. The Brewers used McWeeney, their best pitcher, yesterday, and therefore the Indians saw a better chance of copping today. Tex Covington blasted two home runs in the game yesterday, yet the Tribesmen lost, because other Indians failed to Hit consistently. The contest was a see-saw affair and the Indians did have a charce In the ninth, but passed it up. With the count knotted in that frame Zwilltng walked and Shipners ran for him. Henline sacrificed and, when Smith hit to Butler, Shinners rounded third, hesitated and then sprinted for the plate too late to beat the ball there. If Shinners had kept going, or had he held third, the situation would have been promising for a Hoosier victory. As it was the Brewers kept plugging and copped in the tenth. Mostil walked as a starter and Cooney sacrificed. Kores threw out Butler, Mostil taking third, whence be scored on Hauser’s single. Covington got his home runs in the sixth and eighth, but unfortunately the long hit* came with the bases unoccupied. McWeeney hurled effectively In the tight places and, though he was not much better than Jones, his mates got their hits at more opportune times. President Hickey lifted the ban on Manager Hendricks and the Tribe pilot again was back on the field.

Four Duesenbergs Enter Uniontown Autumn Race; New Course Approved UNIONTOWN, Pa.. Aug. 25—Four Duesenberg racing cars, the famous eight-cylinder type, have been entered for the autumn classic at the Uniontown speedway on Labor day. Tommy Milton, world's record bolder, winner of two legs on the universal trophy race here, will lead the Duesenberg aggregation. Milton will make a valiant effort to repeat hla victory of June 19. The other three drivers entered for the Duesenberg team are .Timmy Murphy, Eddie O'Donnell and Eddie Hearne. Murphy is popular here and leaped Into racing \fame by winning his urst big race, a Los Angeles, this spring. O'Dounell’s appearance here will be greeted with pleasure. Quiet and unassumlrg, a veteran of the game, he will undoubtedly make a good showing. Hearne won the autumn classic here in 1917, finishing the race with his hands covered with blisters as a result of the vibration of the steering whetd caused when his car plowed tnrough the (iebris, lap after lap, thrown on the t'aek when Gaston Chevrolet crashed through the lower guard rail on the back stretch. Drivers are enthused over the new type of track which is being placed at the speedway under the personal direction of Manager A. E. Corns. The improvements will add much to the speed possible and especially will this be true on the famous west curve—better known as death curve. The ticket sale for the autumn classic already is heavy. Reservations from nine states and front Canada were on hand whe nthe sale first opened. Indications are that all attendance records will be broken.
